Camping
Camping management is always a hot topic for discussing at the management meetings. The council always focus quite closely on the backstage areas of the festival. Their concerns are camping density and proximity of vehicles to tents and gazebos. If this ever becomes an issue at Acoustic(as it has been at times in the past) the fix will be to move our crew camping area outside the festival perimeter, as has happened with West Holts(formerly Jazz Stage). This would be disastrous for us for a number of reasons, not least of which would be loosing the bar! Also things like grabbing a couple of spare crew to do a walking vehicle escort would no longer be possible. As a last ditch attempt to sort out our camping issues I’ve arrange for a full time crew to keep an eye on the camping field and make sure people camp in a way that will keep the council happy. The Chirpy name for this new crew is ‘The Camping Wombles’ and they will report to Alan. Bear in mind, it’s everyones responsibility to make sure we keep our camping field for the years to come, so lets use a bit of peer pressure and each make an example of our camps.
Remember, no campervans near tents, it’s a camping field not a car park and try to cooperate with Alan and the Camping Wombles when you make your camp. Thank you in advance for your support.
Caravans
Vehicles towing caravans will be required to park in the staff car park once unhitched as there are new pressures to reduce vehicles this year, brought on by Council officers and the fire brigade. Certain exceptions may apply to maintenance and transport crew.
